    Summary

    “I think,” James said, lying with his head tipped off the edge of the bed. He was tossing a snitch up and down, and still managing to stare at Sirius over the rim of his glasses, “You should tell him.”
    Sirius scowled, “I think,” He said, pausing to mock him, “You should kill yourself.”

    Or it's Valentine's Day, and James decides to play schoolwide matchmaker.

    Summary

    At Hogwarts, Remus Lupin has a secret deeper than anyone suspects. He's not a werewolf, but a merman, cursed by a mysterious magical pool as a child. Every full moon, he’s pulled to the depths of the Black Lake, where transformation is inevitable, painful, and isolating. Only Lily Evans knows the truth, having uncovered it by accident years earlier. She has kept his secret and helped him manage the toll it takes on his body and spirit.

    Now in their fifth year, Sirius Black starts to notice things: the way Remus disappears, the darkness inside he tries to hide, the excuses that no longer make sense. When Sirius follows Remus one night, he finds more than he bargained for. The truth is stranger, more magical, and just a bit more heartbreaking than anything he imagined.

    Summary

    “Excuse me, but I’m more interested in why Remus’ boss needs him to stay single. Is it just me or that's not very professional?”

    “He never is,” Remus snorts, thinking about Dumbledore. “He wants to reach a younger audience and thinks that me whoring around will do the trick.”

    “Well, he’s already got himself a reader,” Sirius grins, pointing at himself. “This is the funniest job one of us has had since James got dressed as a hot dog.”

    “You were dressed as Ketchup,” James reminds him.

    “And the red did wonders to my eyes. I don’t see your point.”

    Freshly single and new in the city, Remus is probably the last person that should be writing about London's dating scene, exploring it while also managing to stay single. Good thing, his new flatmate is an expert at avoiding relationships. And he's looking for a wingman.

    Summary

    Remus Lupin has always kept his head down. Quiet, careful, and just a little behind the rest of the Marauders. But in the winter of fifth year, a well-meaning date with a Hufflepuff girl ends in disaster when a moment of panic pushes him to say the one thing he’s never dared to admit out loud: he’s gay.

    By the next morning, the whole school knows.

    What follows is the slow unraveling of everything Remus thought he understood—about himself, about friendship, and especially about Sirius Black. Because Sirius has always been the source of the problem. And maybe, if Remus lets himself hope, he could also be the answer.

    Summary

    A fix-it tale steeped in blood magic, broken trust, and the kind of love that lingers, even when everything else is falling apart.

    Sirius made a mistake.
    Remus is imploding.
    The Potters are alive, but the war rages on.

    or

    What if Sirius accused Remus of being the spy before Godric’s Hollow?
    What if the betrayal came too soon and tore them apart before the real war even began?

    Now, in the shadow of a second chance, they’ll navigate secret returns, magical tethers, and the fallout of everything left unsaid.

    Because some threads don’t break.
    Sometimes… you just have to see where they lead.
